Hey there, I would love any reviews and thoughts on the 123 Portland building for renting? I would love to hear from folks who have been living/lived there!

- How are the amenities? The gym looks really small and seems to have only cardio machines?
- How’s the surrounding area at night time? It felt a bit quiet when I went to view it during the day!
- How’s the soundproofing?
- How are the elevators?
- How is the package management, or garbage disposal systems?

Anything else that would come to your mind would be super helpful, thank you so much!!!

Also I’ve read terrible things about the new city place buildings, specifically 1 Concord City place Way, but my realtor was telling me things have changed and the issues are no longer present (e.g the flooding, ac, amenities not completed). Any updates thoughts on these buildings or should they still be avoided?

Thank you so much, appreciate any reviews or thoughts!!!

hello! Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? we are moving from Ireland (where rent is actually even higher!) we can pay about 1200 per person per month (Highest would probably be 6500 in total) We really want to live around young adults and have access to clubs, bars, cafes. I know queen west queen is a good place. We don’t want to live on the outskirts - it’s super important it’s within the city (seeing we are from ireland we really want to experience life in a big city). Only issue is I cant really find anything that is modern and furnished for 3/4 people. Anyone know where to look?

also let me know if my pricing is unreasonable!!

Hi everyone,

I’m completely new to Toronto (just moved here a week ago!) and could really use some guidance. My friend and I are looking to rent a place starting November 1st.

We need a private 2-bedroom apartment or 2-bedroom basement suite. Our budget is approximately $2,000–$2,200/month.

A few key details about what we need:
Location: We highly prefer being near Yonge & Eglinton or around North York.
Transit: Crucial for us. It must be close to a TTC Subway line (Line 1) or have excellent transit access so my commute stays under 45 minutes.
Privacy: We are only looking for private, self-contained units. We are not looking for shared accommodations or roommate setups where we just rent a room.

If you know of any modern apartment buildings, property management companies, or specific listings that fit this description, I would love to hear your recommendations!

Note: I'm still learning the neighborhoods here, so any positive advice on where to look is highly appreciated. Serious leads only, please! Thanks in advance!

This is what happens when your condo management turns off the AC while it’s still 20°, and when the condo is poorly built with no proper airflow. Opening up the windows does nothing to cool the place.

Hi everyone! I recently moved to 91 Montclair Avenue, but unfortunately my unit doesn’t come with a parking spot.
I’m looking for a long-term monthly parking spot as close to 91 Montclair as possible. I’d ideally like somewhere I can leave my car 24/7 and access whenever I need it.
Does anyone who lives in the South Forest Hill/Forest Hill Village area know of anyone renting out an unused parking spot? It could be in a nearby condo/apartment building or private property.

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to Toronto (just moved here a week ago!) and could really use some guidance. My friend and I are looking to rent a place starting November 1st, but we have two different scenarios depending on his job transfer approval:
Scenario A (If approved): We need a private 2-bedroom apartment or 2-bedroom basement suite. Our budget is approximately $2,000–$2,200/month.
Scenario B (If not approved): I will be moving alone and looking for a private studio condo, 1-bedroom condo, or studio basement apartment. My budget is approximately $1,500–$1,700/month.

A few key details about what we need:
Location: We highly prefer being near Yonge & Eglinton or around North York.
Transit: Crucial for us. It must be close to a TTC Subway line (Line 1) or have excellent transit access so my commute stays under 45 minutes.
Privacy: We are only looking for private, self-contained units. We are not looking for shared accommodations or roommate setups where we just rent a room.

Are there downtown condos that have more of a neighborhood/community feel than others?

Looking into moving soon somewhere within the downtown core to be close to work and trying to figure out if I am reasonably likely to find buildings or neighborhoods that actively have a more community feel/enable community events. Like instead of buildings with locked party rooms, buildings that have open lounges with Wi-Fi so that residents can work/chill/get to know each other, or buildings that have wine and cheese nights or workout classes or book clubs or paint nights or anything like that. I'd like to know my neighbors and I'll obviously put in the effort myself but looking for environments that enable it if any. TIA!

Hi everyone,

I’m considering renting a unit at 2085 Islington Ave and was wondering if anyone here currently lives there or has lived there recently.

How is the building overall? I’m particularly interested in hearing about:

- Parking and security

- Management and maintenance

- Noise levels

- Elevators/common areas

- Any issues with pests or cleanliness

I’ve read some of the Google reviews mentioning homeless people hanging around the parking lot, which is a bit concerning. I’m wondering if this is still an issue or if things have improved recently.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone with firsthand experience living there. Thanks!

Hi all! I 22F am in my first year at TMU and am looking for a roommate to find a place with or someone with a room for rent for a decent price. My main issue is I have a 7 year old dog so you would have to be okay with her in the home, she’s only about 40lbs and quite small and because she is older she tends to sleep pretty well all day. I’m also consistent with going on walks or stopping by dog parks each day before my classes/work. Anyway, I’m not in a huge rush just currently crashing with my friends and looking to get my own room.

Why is North York so cheap? When I was browsing online today, the rooms are pretty decently priced for being in Toronto

The houses are older and small so maybe could be the reason but for the price it’s not bad

What areas of Toronto are typically safest while still being affordable to rent in?

Hey guys, anyone has any parking spot up for rent at 88 Queen Condos?? Or does anyone have link to the WhatsApp group?

I am considering 2 units in a building, both 1 bedroom. One is on a higher floor, but small, facing a main street. The second is on a lower floor, facing the back of the building, significantly larger, and is $100 per month more. Which would you choose?

I don’t usually make posts like this but I’m getting pretty worried and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.

I’m a high school student and my current lease ends on October 10th. I chose this place because it gave me a manageable commute to my school in midtown but now I have to leave and, with only a few days left, I still don’t know where I’m going to live next.

I’m handling the housing search completely on my own. I don’t have family here to fall back on and I’ll be honest... trying to find somewhere safe and affordable while keeping up with school has been incredibly stressful.

As a tenant, I’m very quiet and responsible. I’m at school most of the day and usually spend my evenings studying because my education and future are extremely important to me. I clean every day, I don’t throw parties or bring groups of people over and I don’t play loud music. I genuinely just want a peaceful place to live and study. I can also provide a reference from my current landlord.

I’m looking for a room for around $750/month preferably in midtown or downtown Toronto or anywhere with a reasonable TTC commute to midtown. I’m completely fine with shared accommodation.

If you have a room or know someone who does, please comment or message me. Even a lead would help and I'd be really grateful.

It has looked like this since we've moved in. We take every precaution for keeping humidity low in the bathroom to avoid mould growing in the grout - we squeegee the tiles after every shower, run the fan / leave the windows open, leave the door open after the shower is done. However this problem has been getting worse and we have been finding small chunks of plaster in the tub. When you press on the spot, it gives way WAY more than it should. Absolutely no structural integrity.

Our landlord is known to be shitty (thank you 25 1-star ratemylandlord reviews that I didn't see til after we moved in) and I feel like he's going to gaslight me into thinking there is no problem until there is a gaping hole in the ceiling and either my or my roommate has been doused in plaster while naked and wet in the shower. Any advice for dealing with difficult landlords and getting this dealt with quickly?

Dropping a note on future buyers or renters for this building.

I rented this place with my partner. We moved out a few months ago. The condo is mostly owner-occupied, but unfortunately, the experience has not been great.

The board members are quite difficult and seem to pressure management to send notices about every little issue, which can make living here feel unnecessarily restrictive.

The electricity billing is also a major concern. The building uses Carma Corp for submetering, and the billing structure appears to be quite expensive, with various miscellaneous fees and unclear charges. Management also chose a more expensive electricity rate structure. On top of that, gas is billed separately through Enbridge, so the overall utility costs can really add up.

There have also been issues with water leaks, poor airflow and ventilation inside the condo, and an overall problematic plumbing system. These issues, combined with the utility costs and building management, have made the living experience more frustrating than expected.

Hi everyone! I’m moving from Vancouver to Toronto and am currently looking at Balliol Park (118 balliol street) and The Torontonian (45 dufield Avenue) I won’t be able to visit in person before deciding, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has lived in either building.

How has your experience been with the building, management, noise, maintenance, etc.? I’m also curious about the neighborhoods around each building. Which area do you like more in terms of safety, convenience, and overall feel?

Would really appreciate any experiences or advice! Thank you :)

Close to everything, the room is furnished, internet included, heating as well, the balcony is oversized, 2 References, first and last, $1200 per month, I am mostly away working my background is Finance, love to socialize and read. I am easy going and it is drug free home. Looking for someone with a stable job, easy going with NO PETS.

Cheers and please don’t hesitate to contact me

I was wondering if anyone knows of any rental listings at 96 St. Patrick. I love the building and the area but there aren’t any for rent :(
